Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I wish there were as this is a huge need, but I don't know of any. If any readers know of some financial support for this, please let us all know. Carol
Bfils, That's very kind of you. If no one here can get them from you, I'm sure some Senior Centers in your area would love to share them. Sorry for your loss, job well done.
Contact your local ADRC or AAA (Aging Disability Resource Center or Area Agency on Aging) their should be a Family Caregiver Grant, this grant is typically used to provide respite but can be used for whatever is necessary to keep the client in the home as long as possible, i.e. incontinence supplies. The grant is often very small but any help is useful. Also be sure you have explored all options with your area's medicaid programs, such as CLTC (community long term care) which often have much higher income limits and are based on a patients ability to care for themselves. Again your ADRC or AAA will be most knowledgeable about your area's programs. Should you need assistance locating your ADRC or AAA.
I would like to know if there is any assistance program from Allegheny County, PA for the elderly. I am trying to take care of my 91 year old great aunt.. need to know what is available to her to help us with her care.. incontenence.. funding for pullups. and any thing else available to her.. Please help!
lynnann15, call your county's Social Services, explain your role, and ask for an intake interview or a needs evaluation for your aunt. These people are experts on what is available through the county and also on other resources in your community. It is a great starting point.
My husband's incontinence supplies are provided through one of the programs he is on. I just call when we're getting low, and they send out a case. He is on Medicaid and Elderly Waiver, and frankly I'm not sure what program provides this. We do pay a fairly large "spend down" each month, because his SS check is relatively large. I would never have found my way to all the services we now receive if I hadn't started with Social Services. Good luck!
I'm helping a Mother in Florida to take care of her incontinent adolescent daughter with diabetes...she needs a type of plastic pants for day & night that will be more protection....Any help would be great......thank you, I work for an agy. & want to remain anonymous
I'm a licensed care tech. & i help a mother with an adolescent daughter who is incontinent...she needs some type of plastic pants for more protection during school & all day & night......
Is there any assistance for incontinence products like depends ( guards and shields) for men? I had my prostate removed in Jan. 2000. I am currently being treated for leukemia and multiple myeloma. Any assisstance would be appreciated.
I haven't found any organization in NYC to help pay for incontinence products. But I have found that I can save some money by buying in bulk over the internet, and since the cost includes delivery,I save time, and for some items I can set up an automatic reorder process. Saving more money would be a bigger help; but anything that helps me keep track of ordering supplies and that saves me time going to the store is a help. I order through the Allegro medical supply web site, but there may be others that offer better prices.
One would think that's a medical necessity in your situation, but SSI often doesn't cover things that aren't prescribed. In some states Medicaid will pay for these supplies, but like so many things with Medicaid, it depends on where you live. Have you talked with your doctor about this? Maybe there's a way to word this so that you can get some help with the expenses. Please let us know if you can find any help. Others one the forum here have had success, but not everyone. Good luck to you, Carol
My mother gets her pull ups thru Medicare . Her over the counter expenses take care of that. Try your advantage program. My mother is with Health Spring TotalCare. She is 85 yrs.old.
